runsignup.com/jennyseay Almost that time of year again! Doing my annual tradition of flouncing among the cherry blossoms while trying to rally support for a few great local nonprofits. Help me help UW Botanical Gardens, and Rainier Beach High School if you have a little to spare!

the two phases of writing: (1) writing and (2) wandering aimlessly like an unmoored ghost and complaining about not writing

this is the soundbite and we can make it stick

In the historically anti-union South, the UAW just secured a landmark contract with Volkswagen. The workers won major wage increases, job security against outsourcing, and higher-quality healthcare. Congratulations to these workers, and remember: there is always hope in labor.

Brody King was brought in to be a spooky monster heel and instead he is a working class hero of the downtrodden. He is like if Dusty Rhodes listened to The Misfits.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Maybe because some of us care about other people, which is pretty inconceivable to a lot of empathy-free right-wingers? Though a lot of us aren't exactly mad; we're resolute in our commitment because it's not just one white woman being murdered; it's millions of BIPOC people being terrorized.

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

Big congrats to @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social! Viva la physical media!! 📼

I wrote about the patty melt, about not fitting into molds, and about the pain & joy of a life that doesn't fit a predetermined menu: buttondown.com/theswordandt...

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

So an officer has his phone out recording obviously distracted, shoots a woman and calls her a “f’ing Bitch” and they think that HELPS the case?!?

Thank you, Bandido, for this excellent new meme format!

Absolutely the people I want in charge at a moment of extreme fluidity and massive unknowns is this particular band of cokeheads, steroid juicers, dementia patients, and JD Vance.

No Kings but Brody King! #AEWDynamite 🤼‍♀️

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

My friend @luchalibrarian.bsky.social made Jenny and I some bracelets for Xmas! I’ll share them all soon, but I’m wearing this one today, repping Alice In Chains AND good words to live by. Eddie Kingston vibes. They do bracelet for wrestling, music, etc, called Bracelet Jones. Please hit them up!

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Quick little writeup from Prazak about THE fed that kept women's wrestling alive in the US during a dark time.

Give your money away, shorties

“Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”

My lady and I! Damn we look good!

They’re dead to me.

Where are the people who were so outraged that Biden asked google to pull misinfo at Covid, now that Trump has made Apple pull the ice tracker app

We may or may not be trapped in the Mystery Spot...#SPNVAN

The world is cold, better bundle up.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

If you have a working heart, these days are hazardous to your health. Don't let the cruelty around you rob you of your compassion. Take care of yourself and those around you. Fight to stay human despite the inhumanity so many are choosing. Love, for the win...

Road testing Sullivan's Crossing on Netflix paired with chilled peach Moscato. What can. I say? My basic B energy always tends to surface when Fall approaches.

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

So this is us trusting our communitea to hold us. Anyone who is able to contribute through the link below will get the name of their choice engraved on a plaque of SOS (Save Our Shop) Angels to be permanently installed in the tea house and a photo pinned on the discord. square.link/u/La2AFWmg

My lady and I were talking about the indie generation of the 2000s, and we realized it’s such a shame Larry Sweeney is gone. He would have absolutely killed it in #AEW.

Gotta meet him with some resistance. 😉 Despite RFK Jr.’s claims, the CDC did not remove COVID vaccines from the childhood immunization schedule.

They made it work even without Eddie. Color me impressed. #AEW #DoubleOrNothing #WellDoneSwerve

Trump doesn't give a crap about South Africa. But he does care about making white Americans scared of Black people. Racism is his jet fuel.

T'was a nice tribute at @defynw.bsky.social last night. #DefyFatalFantasy

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.
